An economic system that uses (forest-based) biomass instead of fossil-based resources for fuel and material input.
New Focus
1. What explains the decline of innovation in the forest-based bioeconomy?
Old Focus
2. How collaborative is the innovation system?
3. Which innovation system actors exercise most power?
~ 5000 unique innovations

Which are more active producing innovation for non-bioeconomy purposes
Swedish bioeconomy innovation is declining relative to total innovation
Bioeconomy innovation producer network highly fragmented and shrinking after 1980
Most powerful innovation producers more active outside bioeconomy
